3rd battery

I only have an 80amp/hr deep cycle inside my engine bay. Lasts about 2-3 days before it does running the fridge etc.

I have recently got some solar panels to give it a fighting chance but it's a slow trickle charge and not a perfect solution; for example over easter I was in a caravan park so everytime we left our camp to go out for lunch, fish etc I packed it away for security. Because of this it wasn't truely effective.

I have a grand plan though :) I would like to build a centre console where my current one is (GQ Patrol) and place inside this a 3rd deep cycle (those that you can lay on their side, upside down etc) and wire it in series with my current one giving me 100amp/hr.

Anyone done this before? Know of anyone who builds custom made professionally (I'm in Adelaide)?

Note:
to save on replies I'm not keen to put a 'box' in the rear as I have my storage, slide etc all perfect after many years of trial and error.

Cheers,
